We have finished the main part of the front garden, but left the
border between us and the neighbours as a type of overgrown hedge.

This border separates our drive from that of our neighbour's
it was a good thing to have to hide his white van, but recently he
has become ill, and the van has disappeared, so the reason for the
hedge to remain has gone.

Most of the plants had been put in by a landscape firm contracted
by the builders of the estate. I don't know what it is with these
people, but they always seem to put in too many of the same plants
for my liking, and also plants that all too rapidly outgrow their
allotted space.

This border has been overgrown for years as the plants were really
unsuitable for the area they were planted in, and my husband never
really enjoyed cutting the plants back even if it was only two or
three times per year, especially as there were sharp spines on some
of them.

So we got in Kevin Longhurst again to clear the ground. He started by
using a power saw to remove the main parts of the trees, and put these
on his trailer.

The next step was to remove the tree stumps this was a little harder,
however with the use of his 4 x 4, a tow hook and some webbing, the
stumps came out easily enough, and the rubbish was extracted and removed.
